Greenville Elementary School is gearing up for a leadership change! In a recent development, the Bond County Community Unit 2 Board of Education has made a bold move, appointing Tracy McEvers as the new assistant principal and curriculum director. But there's a catch.
The board's decision comes with a condition: the hiring is dependent on a vacancy. This means that the current assistant principal, Amy Jackson, will be stepping down from her role to pursue a new educational opportunity outside the district. Jackson's departure creates the opening for McEvers to step in.
McEvers, a Greenville High School alumnus, brings a wealth of experience to the table. She has taught at Pocahontas School and, most recently, served as an instructional coach for Unit 2. Her appointment is set to begin on March 16, 2026, and she will hold the position for the remainder of this school year and the following term, 2026-2027.
And here's where it gets interesting: McEvers is following in Jackson's footsteps, as they are both graduates of the same high school. This appointment showcases the board's trust in local talent and its commitment to fostering growth from within the community.
But what does this mean for the future of Greenville Elementary? Will McEvers' appointment bring new opportunities or challenges? Only time will tell, and the community eagerly awaits the impact of this leadership transition.
